46Rainbow Swirl

Halo Top

We'll spare you most of the comments from our crew and leave you with this: One staffer called it "seasoned Play-Dough." At least it's edible, right?

45Candy Bar

Halo Top

Again, Candy Bar was not a big hit with our team. We don't need to get into the gritty details—though the word "gritty" was mentioned quite a few times in passing.

44Candy Bar (Dairy-Free)

Halo Top

While a lot of flavors' dairy-free counterparts ranked super high on this list, Candy Bar's was not one of them. The consensus was people would just rather have candy, straight.

43Cookies & Cream

Halo Top

You go into a taste test thinking you know what Cookies & Cream tastes like...until now. Comments on Halo Top's version ranged from "weird aftertaste" to "it's floral?" Nothing inherently bad, just a bit odd.

42Pancakes & Waffles (Dairy-Free)

Halo Top

This pretty much felt like eating straight syrup. Sure, that sounds nice in theory, but a bowl full of it is quite aggressive.

41Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough

Halo Top

While the team is almost always down for a good dose of sugar, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough was a two-bites-and-you're-done type of deal.

40Chocolate Hazelnut (Dairy-Free)

Halo Top

"OMG, it's so heavy it hurts": The Chocolate Hazelnut Story.

39Mochi Green Tea

Halo Top

A typically divisive flavor, it's not surprising Mochi Green Tea ended up toward the bottom of this list. I happened to love it, but the overwhelming office opinion was that it was too "perfume-y."

38Pancakes & Waffles

Halo Top

The pervasive syrup flavor was lessened by the dairy, one assumes, but Pancakes & Waffles was still incredibly maple-forward.

37Chocolate Mocha Chip

Halo Top

The takeaway from this pint is that low-cal ice cream does have the potential to be super rich. Like, super rich. Like, to-the-point-of-no-return rich. So rich!

36Caramel Macchiato

Halo Top

The main takeaway of the Caramel Macchiato flavor was its "chalkiness." The flavor was nice, the texture was solid, but it left you with a lot of chewing to do.

35Birthday Cake (Dairy-Free)

Halo Top

Though the flavor was innocuous, it was so much so that there wasn't much to say about it. "Meh," one editor wrote. "It's sweet and fine," another said.

34Gingerbread House

Halo Top

Maybe it's because we've shifted our brains from Christmas flavors to Valentine's Day ones, but this pint missed the mark, in our opinion.

33Chocolate-Covered Banana

Halo Top

The overpowering banana flavor here confused a lot of people, especially because its dairy-free counterpart was one of our favs. More on that later, though.

32Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough

Halo Top

While people enjoyed the chunkiness the dough provided, they felt it hard to take more than a few bites of this flavor.

31Vanilla Bean

Halo Top

Everyone liked vanilla bean. No one loved it.

30Sea Salt Caramel

Halo Top

Again, nothing to complain about here: We'll take sea salt caramel ice cream over no sea salt caramel ice cream any day. But this version felt a little bit too salty and not enough sweet.

A well-rounded take on Pistachio, the staff concluded. Nothing ground-breaking, but a pleasant eating experience, for sure.

27Red Velvet

Halo Top

For as much as people were not into Gingerbread House, they were very much into Red Velvet. Why the two felt similar, no one could really identify. That said, this tasted like quality red velvet, whereas the gingerbread didn't feel all that gingerbread-like.

26Cinnamon Roll (Dairy-Free)

Halo Top

Maybe it's the lack of dairy that allowed SO MUCH CINNAMON to overpower everything else here, but there was just...a lot of cinnamon happening.

25S'mores

Halo Top

The S'mores pint was creamy, but not so much so that it felt heavy in the way s'mores tend to. It's all up from here!

24Chocolate Almond Crunch (Dairy-Free)

Halo Top

Another perfectly nice flavor that was enjoyed but not raved about.

23Blueberry Crumble

Halo Top

Fruity flavors is where Halo Top T-H-R-I-V-E-S, we realized pretty quickly. This riff on a classic pastry was a lovely happy medium.

This dairy-free flavor reminded us of banana Laffy Taffys and, therefore, of childhood. And who doesn't love a good frozen pint of childhood?

13Peanut Butter Cup (Dairy-Free)

Halo Top

This one was only slightly upstaged by its dairy-containing companion. Pretty much everyone called it "yummy."

12Peanut Butter Cup

Halo Top

"Would eat this every day of my life," one coworker exclaimed.

11Chocolate (Dairy-Free)

Halo Top

Here's where the raving began. No one had anything but "yup, this is GOOD" to say about this flavor.

10Peanut Butter & Jelly (Dairy-Free)

Halo Top

People came out hard for this classic combo: "Who wouldn't want to eat this? It's great."

9Sea Salt Caramel (Dairy-Free)

Halo Top

This flavor was subtly delicious—we could appreciate not being hit over the head with salt, but tasting just a little bit of it amongst the classic caramel-iness of it all.

8Peaches & Cream

Halo Top

Another baked good-type flavor, which not only tasted "summer-y," but it also felt really "comforting and happy," to one tester. Whatever that means.

7Toasted Coconut (Dairy-Free)

Halo Top

This was one of the few flavors that really didn't feel like an indulgence. By that I mean this flavor was so light, it was hard to believe it was actual ice cream.

6Black Cherry

Halo Top

Nothing but nice things to say here: We're all in on Black Cherry and its "very good cherry chunks."

5Mint Chip

Halo Top

Another divisive flavor, but this one ended up near the top. "I love love looove a mint that's not too minty" was what people mostly took away from this.

4Oatmeal Cookie

Halo Top

The dairy-free Oatmeal Cookie flavor was an underdog from the start, but it quickly rose toward #1. Not only were people impressed by the amount of oatmeal flakes throughout, but they also thought the could down the pint in its entirety.

3Strawberry

Halo Top

Strawberry was thiiisclose to taking the second—or even first—slot as everyone who tried it lovedit. But there was one comment about it's "extremely sweet" flavor, so here we are at number 3.

2Chocolate

Halo Top

This take on chocolate ice cream is all the things you'd hope and expect a good one to be: rich, complex, and sweet on the finish.

1Peanut Butter & Jelly

Halo Top

From one peanut butter freak: "FAVORITE THING OF LIFE." From another: "A+ PB-TO-JELLY RATIO." In other words, this was THE BEST.
